About this Event

Secat’s Certificate in Aluminum Metallurgy Course 3: Thermal Treatments. This course will provide instruction on common thermal treatments for both cast and wrought aluminum alloys. This includes homogenizing, pre-heating, annealing, stress-relief, solution heat treatment, quenching, and aging. This course will be taught by Secat’s team of experts who have extensive experience studying the effects of thermal treatments on the microstructure and properties of aluminum alloys. In addition, Dr. Aaron Lalonde from Army Research Laboratories will be instructing on additive manufacturing of aluminum alloys and Dr. Judy Runge from Apple (retired) will be presenting on common surface coatings and treatments for aluminum alloys.

This course is applicable for process engineers, process technicians, supervisors, quality technicians, quality managers, metallurgists, and lab managers. The lessons will be delivered first in lecture format and then with hands-on demonstrations using laboratory scale equipment. The course will be held at Secat’s Lexington, KY and Nicholasville, KY facilities (30 minutes apart).

Course Objectives:

· Review the temper designations for aluminum alloys

· Learn about the effects of homogenizing on the microstructure and understand how homogenization parameters can affect the properties in the final product

· Demonstrate how and when recovery, recrystallization, and grain growth occur during annealing

· Hands-on exposure to the effect of quench rate on distortion, residual stress, and properties

· Review the solution heat treatment process and specify processing windows for solution heat treatment

· Learn about the aging process and the effects of time and temperature on properties


Registration fee includes course materials and lunch each day
